Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Chapter 122 A Confident Laughter in the Mortal World

While Xu Shu was being whipped and interrogated by netizens, Xiao Xiao pulled Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, who were standing there in a daze, and started to walk out of Xingluo Square.

They knew Xiao Xiao was very strong, but they had never seen Xiao Xiao's true spirit ring configuration.

Now, seeing Xiao Xiao's supermodel-like attack, they seriously doubt whether the spirit ring configuration on Xiao Xiao's body was really simulated by Huo Yuhao.

"Teacher, the competition is over, let's go out and play. Call us again before the next competition starts."

"Xiao Xiao, aren't you going to stay and watch the other teams' matches?"

As Xiao Xiao walked away, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask a question.

"There's no need, Teacher Wang Yan. The result will be the same anyway. No one can beat us Shrek Academy students."

"Why don't we all go out and relax instead of wasting time?"

In the silent square, Xiao Xiao's natural, innocent, and matter-of-fact voice went straight into the ears of the silent crowd, making them feel that she was born to win and could not possibly lose.

Xiao Xiao persuaded all of Shrek's group, including Wang Yan, to leave.

After a dozen minutes of silence, the remaining people in Xingluo Square resumed the new elimination rounds.

However, given the shock that Xiao Xiao's strength brought to the audience, the elimination rounds, which they had been looking forward to, suddenly became somewhat boring.

Without impressive spirit ring configurations or powerful, one-hit-kill spirit skills, the other academies' performances were truly rather ordinary.

At this moment, the sharp-eared audience members in the front row remembered Xiao Xiao's earlier words about going out to play.

With this thought in mind, many people left their expensively purchased front-row seats, hoping to run into the Shrek team in Star Luo City.

The once crowded spectator stands have become much emptier without anyone noticing.

However, these viewers were going to be disappointed, because Xiao Xiao and her friends did not go to the places that ordinary girls like to go, but instead went to the bookstore in Xingluo City.

Recently, Xu Shu discovered a new system function.

It seems that because Xiao Xiao frequents bookstores, the system unlocked the bookstore section for him.

Now, in addition to importing some real-world martial arts techniques directly into the AI ​​database for Xiao Xiao to learn quickly, Xu Shu can also import some miscellaneous books from the real world into the bookstore to slowly change Xiao Xiao's cognition and personality.

Xu Shu manipulated Xiao Xiao to come to the bookstore for this very reason.

He felt that he had focused too much on increasing Xiao Xiao's strength in the past, neglecting the development of her character and the teaching of knowledge, which resulted in Xiao Xiao becoming a naive and innocent Erii, which led to the bug last time.

Therefore, Xu Shu decided to give Xiao Xiao some realistic books in order to cultivate her sound personality and understanding of the world.

Aside from the character's strength, he really liked the character Xiao Xiao; otherwise, he wouldn't have given up on other female characters to choose Xiao Xiao in the first place.

Even in the game, Xu Shu hoped that his Xiao Xiao could become an outstanding Xiao Xiao who was optimistic, cheerful, self-disciplined, and self-respecting.

Although he also likes Erii very much, he doesn't want anyone to become Erii.

Xiao Xiao should just be Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, what do you think of this book? 'Princess Xingluo: The Legend of Xu Jiujiu, Be Your Own God,' it's actually the princess's autobiography!"

"The weak crave certainty, while the strong are not afraid of the unknown or losing contact."

"Attitude determines a person's position in many relationships. Mastering one's behavior and needs makes one more attractive and allows one to become their true self."

As an ordinary citizen, Jiang Nannan immediately noticed one of the books that Xu Shu had arranged.

"Wow, a princess is indeed a princess, she seems so amazing."

"This book, 'Secrets of the Star Luo Empire's Nobles: The Monotony of Men,' wow, it's actually a satire of the Star Luo nobles. The author of this book has ideas and guts."

Wang Dong'er, who grew up in the Heavenly Soul Empire, curiously pulled out another book that Xu Shu had arranged.

"Hmm, it seems like the books from the Star Luo Empire are a bit different from those from the Heavenly Soul Empire. They seem more serious..."

Much more serious.

Standing at the back of the group, Ma Xiaotao pulled out a copy of "Her Mountain, Her Sea".

From then on, she became her steady and steadfast mountain, sheltering her from the wind and rain; she became her vast and gentle sea, embracing all her sharpness and unease, and giving her love and warmth she had never known before.

Upon reading this passage, Ma Xiaotao recalled her irritable and easily angered self before she acquired the herbal remedy. She silently closed the book and turned to the publisher's name on the back.

Ha, it really was written by someone from the Heavenly Soul Empire. The Heavenly Soul Empire really has an artistic flair.

"Sister Tao, there are more and more people around us. It seems like we've been recognized."

Noticing the unexpectedly large crowd around her, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but tug at Ma Xiaotao's clothes, who was lost in her own thoughts.

"Okay, let's stop here at the bookstore for today. Let's check out and head elsewhere."

Xiao Xiao and her companions embarked on a grand adventure in Star Luo City.

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Star Emperor Hotel at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The people of the Sun Moon Empire were having a heated discussion about Shrek Academy's situation that morning.

"The exaggerated spirit ring configurations that Shrek Academy members had this morning must be fake."

"Leaving aside the first soul ring of the millennium, the subsequent three hundred thousand-year soul rings were simply beyond the physique of a Soul King to withstand."

After calming down for a morning, Xiao Hongchen, confident and proud, objectively analyzed the situation.

"Furthermore, the color scheme of their spirit rings is too uniform. Purple-purple, black-black, red—if Shrek Academy could mass-produce monsters like that, how could we, the Sun Moon Academy, possibly suppress them?"

"This must be the effect of some kind of special soul skill."

Xiao Hongchen pressed one hand firmly on the table. The more he spoke, the more he felt he had discovered the truth about the Shrek team's spirit ring configuration.

"Xiao is right, the soul ring configurations of the people from Shrek Academy are definitely fake."

"More than a decade ago, a beast tide broke out at Shrek Academy. There was an agreement with the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that they could not hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts at will."

"None of the teachers in their academy have 100,000-year spirit rings, so how could a group of reserve members of the Seven Devils have them? If they did, they should have been regular team members long ago."

At the head of the conference table, Ma Rulong, with a smile, sincerely expressed his support for Xiao Hongchen.

"Heh, on this continent, there can't be anyone more talented than me. Only Tang Ya, the Tang Clan leader among the Seven Devils in the reserve, can rival me in cultivation speed."

"That senior sister from Shrek Academy is just relying on her powerful soul bone and soul skills. The level 57 soul power she displayed is definitely fake."

"When she runs into me later, she'll definitely reveal her true colors."

Xiao Hongchen sneered, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and fighting spirit.

"I hope she can hold on a little longer and not disappoint me."

With that, Xiao Hongchen confidently issued his declaration of laughter.
